Teardrop tattoo can also be inked as a *remembrance of a loved one who passed away while the wearer was *incarcerated. An empty teardrop tattoo *on face also symbolizes a person's time served in prison, which is *usually a year at least.
#RAINDROP TATTOO FULL#
A *teardrop tattoo on face *with an empty top and a full bottom symbolizes that the wearer has *taken a revenge of the murder of a loved one. It could be an accident or a death penalty. A filled teardrop tattoo *represents that a loved one has committed suicide or was killed by some *cause other than a murder. If a teardrop tattoo is coloured inside the outline, it *represents that the wearer's friend has been killed and the wearer has *taken revenge of his friend's death.Īn empty tear thus symbolizes that a loved one has been killed or the *wearer has successfully shot someone else. If the teardrop tattoo is *just in the form of an outline, it implies that a friend of the wearer *was killed. Hence, the teardrop tattoo, ever since then, *started being a symbol of remembrance and memorial.Īs I have mentioned earlier, the meaning of teardrop tattoo also depends *upon the color and location of the teardrop. American men *would usually get inked with teardrop tattoo to symbolize loss of their *wives or a family member. The teardrop tattoo, at *that very same time, also meant the loss of a loved one. If the *reason behind getting inked was this, the teardrop would represent a *feeling of deep regret for that act and the prisoners would get such *tattoo after leaving the prison.īut at the same time in the United States, the people in civil world *(outside prison world) got inked with this teardrop tattoo design and *had a wholly different reason for getting one. Initially, teardrop tattoos were used *to show that a person was incarcerated for murdering someone. The Australian prison tradition was carried *forward to American prisoners too. In the U.S, the meaning of a teardrop tattoo has changed drastically *over certain span of time.
But this act is very rare in Australian prisons lately. When an inmate *in an Australian prison was about to be incarcerated for his crime, *other inmates would forcibly place a teardrop tattoo under right eye as *it gets visible as these prisoners used to be on the left side of their *prison cell. Teardrop tattoos were forcibly *inked among Australian prisoners on their inmates for serving time in *the prison for being child molesters and sexual abusers. In *fact you will be surprised to know that the first ever teardrop tattoo, *the original one, was found in Australia. In Australian prisons, teardrop tattoos had a tradition behind them. Although teardrop tattoos *have multiple meanings, most of the teardrop tattoos that we see in *mainstream culture today imply that the wearer has killed someone. Teardrop tattoo may also indicate that a person has murdered someone in *his/her life inside or outside the prison. It is a tattoo that is also inked for *every five years of hard suffering time a person has served in prison. Teardrop tattoos in prison signify the number of killings the *wearer has in his criminal record.
Sometimes a teardrop tattoo may symbolize the membership of a *gang.
But for every *individual, a teardrop tattoo may mean something else depending upon the *location of his teardrop tattoo and as a symbol it will be treated the *same way. Teardrop tattoo is mostly associated with prisoners, convicts, *gangsters, thugs, suffering or the loss of a loved one.
